£250,000 conman aged 13

A boy of 13 swindled firms and punters out of £250,000 - after passing himself off as a high-flying tycoon.

The lad, who set up online businesses that sold non-existent goods, travelled in chauffeur-driven limos, wore designer suits and had cases of champagne sent to his home. The smooth-talking teen's scam lasted three years.

Now 16, the boy faces jail after admitting fraud.
